Chapter 60
Chapter 60
The person Mok Wigun had in mind was Pyon Juksu. Because he could trust and entrust him with the task.
"Alright. I'll make a request. Instead, one person from my side will accompany you."
"I understand. I will prepare accordingly."
Only then did Mok Wigun feel at ease. And then he immediately stood up to leave.
"How about a cup of tea? I don't think we've had a proper conversation, young master."
Was it because she thought he was an important person? The Haomun Chang'an branch manager held Mok Wigun back. Mok Wigun would have talked more with the Chang'an branch manager if he had the time. Because building a good relationship with her would surely be helpful. But now was not the time.
"Let's postpone it for the next opportunity. I have to go to the magistrate's residence now."
The old woman was quite disappointed. The branch manager, like Magistrate Chu, seemed to have judged that Mok Wigun was an important person.
"You'll make time for me next time, right?"
"I will. I'll definitely do that."
"You're answering half-heartedly. I'll have to give you a good gift to have a conversation with you, young master."
Mok Wigun smiled and bid farewell, then moved to the magistrate's residence. Thinking that it was a really busy day.
* * *
"How is it?"
The magistrate asked the old physician who was examining his mother. The physician with a magnificent white beard finished his examination and said.
"Let's move to another place first."
As they came out and moved, the magistrate couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked a question.
"Is there a problem? Why did you insist on moving?"
"Magistrate."
The Divine Physician, the Valley Lord of the Divine Physician Valley and called the best physician of his time, said quietly.
"There are things that are good for the patient to know, but there are also things that are not."
He was about to say something else, but they arrived at the room where they would talk. There were many rooms in the magistrate's residence. There were plenty of rooms to talk in the rear garden as well.
The magistrate and the Divine Physician sat down, and a few physicians from the Divine Physician Valley stood behind them.
"So. What is it that you wanted to move?"
"The one who treated her just now has considerable skill. He has suppressed the cold energy so that it cannot move."
"She said her body felt better after receiving the treatment. My mother trusts his skills."
The Divine Physician stroked his beard that came down to his solar plexus and said.
"That would be the case. Since the thing that was causing the problem has been suppressed, she would feel as if her body condition is improving."
But the Divine Physician said there was a problem.
"The cold energy will gradually clump together and harden. Because of that, it will be fine for a while, but after that, her condition will rapidly worsen."
"What?"
The magistrate was greatly surprised. It was because he thought she had gotten better because the treatment was good, but that wasn't the case. And it was the words of none other than the Divine Physician.
"The bigger problem is that the more the cold energy hardens, the more difficult it is to do anything about it."
"Then what should we do?"
"We have to return it to its original state right now and do it our way."
The magistrate's expression became serious. At that, one of the physicians from the Divine Physician Valley said.
"The one who treated her is said to be the third son of the Mok family."
"The Mok family?"
It was a name the Chang'an magistrate also knew well. Because they were ruffians who had recently been causing trouble by clashing with the Baek family, aiming for profits.
Although the Baek family had the upper hand by joining hands with the Huashan Sect, the Mok family did not give up. So they constantly fought and caused problems. But to think he was a person from such a place. The magistrate recalled the violent appearance of Mok Wigun he had seen before.
"Besides, he insisted on coming even though we only tried to bring Physician Pyon, and he caused a commotion."
"Is that true?"
"It's certain. Please check for yourself."
The magistrate called the person who had brought Physician Pyon.
"Tell me in detail what happened that day."
"Yes, Magistrate. I tried to bring only Physician Pyon."
The errand boy told the story of that day in detail.
"He insisted that he had to go too. So I said he couldn't, but then he said Physician Pyon couldn't go either."
"And so?"
At the magistrate's question, the person explained with gestures and even spitting.
"I said it was the magistrate's request. But even then, he said he didn't know anything about that. He said if he was so confident, the magistrate should treat her himself. Phew. He was a very irreverent person."
"Hmm..."
The physicians from the Divine Physician Valley added.
"Mok Wigun is a person famous for his notoriety. He is said to be a martial artist, not a physician."
"That's right. There is no one in Chang'an who doesn't know about the fight with the Baek family at the inn."
"Why would a person from the Mok family, who is not even a physician, come? It is clear that he came with some purpose."
The magistrate's expression was not good. And just then, a person came and announced that Mok Wigun had arrived.
"Good. Call that person here immediately."
When Mok Wigun arrived, the magistrate told him the Divine Physician's claim and asked.
"Do you also know about this fact?"
"Of course. That's why I mentioned a period of about half a year."
And he said that for now, that method was the best, so he had done it that way.
"The best? If you do that for immediate comfort, what will you do later?"
The Divine Physician asked with a snort.
"Can't we just get an elixir with strong fire energy and treat her?"
Mok Wigun answered as if asking what the problem was. At that, the Divine Physician shook his head.
"Don't you know that if the cold energy hardens like this, the treatment becomes more difficult? How are you going to melt the cold energy?"
"There is a way."
"What way is there? The harder it gets, the harder it is to melt. So it's better to melt it slowly before it hardens."
The Divine Physician said confidently.
"It is better to return it quickly and start the treatment of the Divine Physician Valley from now on, Magistrate."
"That's not acceptable."
As the magistrate was about to be swayed, Mok Wigun strongly opposed.
"The method you just mentioned takes too long. And pain accompanies the treatment every time. The patient is old, so it will be a great burden on her body. So we must do it my way."
"It takes much longer to melt something that has hardened. And that's a more painful method. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
Although the Divine Physician said it was complete nonsense, Mok Wigun's opinion was different.
"Why does it take a long time? Can't we just melt the hardened lump of cold energy quickly?"
"No, by what means are you going to melt it quickly?"
"Isn't that simple? You have to break the hardened lump into small pieces and then melt it."
The Divine Physician let out a deep sigh.
"No. By what means are you going to break the lump of cold energy in the body into small pieces? And a hardened lump at that."
"Just because you don't know doesn't mean there isn't such a method."
"I am the Divine Physician. As far as I know, there is no such method."
The physicians from the Divine Physician Valley also joined in and cornered Mok Wigun.
"That's right, Magistrate. There is no need to listen further."
"He is a person who is clouding the magistrate's judgment with plausible words. You must drive him out at once."
But Mok Wigun answered calmly.
"Why is there no way? Can't we just give it a vibration with a needle and break it?"
The physicians from the Divine Physician Valley sneered and mocked him. Saying he was talking nonsense.
"What kind of nonsense is that?"
"You can say anything with words. You're just saying anything because it can't be verified."
But only the Divine Physician's expression changed slightly.
"What do you mean by that? To apply a vibration?"
The magistrate also asked, as if he was curious about Mok Wigun's method.
"If you press and harden the cold energy like now, there are two advantages. One is that the body condition improves, and the other is that it becomes easier to break."
"That's right. The harder it gets, the easier it is to break."
Mok Wigun asked for two small lumps of ice and hot water to explain it easily.
"You will understand faster if you see it for yourself while listening to the explanation."
Two lumps of ice of similar size. In one bowl, he put the lump of ice as it was. And Mok Wigun held a needle and brought it to the other lump.
He focused his mind and gathered his internal energy at the tip of the needle. At that, the people suddenly heard a small sound. It was like the sound of a bee or a mosquito flying. A buzzing sound was heard from the needle. It was because Mok Wigun had created a fine vibration using his internal energy.
Crack!
"Oh-oh!"
Everyone in the room was surprised. It was a strange sight. He had just lightly touched it with a needle. But suddenly, the ice broke into small pieces. They probably would have said, 'How is that possible?' if they hadn't seen it for themselves.
Mok Wigun took a deep breath and withdrew the needle.
"You can think of the hot water as the energy of an elixir containing yang energy, and the lump of ice as the cold energy in the patient's body. Please watch."
As he said that, he poured hot water into the two bowls. The difference was clear. The ice that had been broken into small pieces was seen to be melting much faster.
"This is the method I was talking about."
No further explanation was needed. Even the Divine Physician, who was said to be the best in the world in medicine, could not open his mouth. Mok Wigun looked at the Divine Physician and the people from the Divine Physician Valley and asked.
"Do you have anything more to say?"
No one could open their mouth.
* * *
"The kids are locked up in prison?"
Pyon Juksu heard the news and laughed, saying it was interesting.
"It's a strange method, but it's fine. So you're telling me to go and bring the people?"
"Yes. Because I can't move right now."
"Alright. It's boring to just go, so I'll just take Mugwang with me."
It was a good idea. If even Mugwang was there, who would dare to touch them? And if Mugwang went, there was a high probability that Daoist Master Chongun would also move with him.
"That's good, but be careful. Don't cause trouble by teaching him something strange again on the way."
"Oh ho. You think I don't even know that much?"
Yes. I'm saying this because I don't think you know.
"If even Mugwang goes, that won't happen, but if you're attacked, use your strength. It's okay to show your skills to some extent."
"Oh. I can show my skills now?"
"Yes. It's too troublesome."
Before, he had been careful because he hadn't fully recovered, but not anymore. He had decided to show his skills a little so that they wouldn't even think of attacking.
"Then that's good for me."
Pyon Juksu clenched and unclenched his fist and smiled. The way he was giggling, it seemed he would destroy anyone who got in his way.
"I need to make a firm impression on people."
There are many words about Mok Wigun's skill right now. It's a considerable skill. No. He uses a strange technique. So to silence all these words and have his skills recognized, there has to be something big.
"That's right. You have to do it for sure when you do it."
Pyon Juksu also nodded and said, as if he agreed. If he did it half-heartedly, this guy and that guy would all bother him.
"Then I have to at least overwhelmingly beat up someone like Bang So-eung..."
If you were to pick a strong person in this vicinity, the first one to be mentioned is the Ghost Claw, Bang So-eung. The one who is on par with him is the Mok family's protector, Jin Jaryun.
Mugwang is also classified as being on a similar level. It's just that he's not considered a master of this vicinity because he travels around a lot.
"It would be good if I could get a meeting with Bang So-eung."
Unfortunately, since the Baek family head had extended a hand, it seemed he wouldn't try to fight for the time being. As he was contemplating that, Pyon Juksu suddenly said.
"I think there's a pretty strong guy among the people who came from Huashan this time."
"From the Huashan Sect?"
The Huashan Sect is considered next after Shaolin and Wudang. It's natural that there are many masters. Mok Wigun thought he should find out who had come. But at that moment, an urgent message came from Yeseowon. Saying it was a special gift.
For a moment, Mok Wigun was surprised, wondering if something had happened to the Wind Unit's families. If not, what reason would there be to contact Mok Wigun, who was at the magistrate's residence, so urgently? But unexpected news was delivered.
Pyon Juksu saw Mok Wigun, who was surprised after seeing the note, and asked.
"What is it that you're so surprised?"
"They say it has appeared."
The news that a spiritual creature that would cause a storm had been discovered. The thousand-year-old fire carp had revealed itself.
